For artists of our time

That artists of our time, through their creativity, may help us discover the beauty of creation.

Pope Francis - August 2017

"The arts give expression to the beauty of the faith and proclaim the Gospel message of the grandeur of God’s creation.When we admire a work of art or a marvel of nature, we discover how everything speaks to us of Him and of His love.That artists of our time, through their creativity, may help us discover the beauty of creation".

Help persecuted Christians

That persecuted Christians may be supported by the prayers and material help of the whole Church.

Pope Francis - March 2017

How many people are being persecuted because of their faith, forced to abandon their homes, their places of worship, their lands, their loved ones!They are persecuted and killed because they are Christians. Those who persecute them make no distinction between the religious communities to which they belong.I ask you: how many of you pray for persecuted Christians?Do it with me, that they may be supported by the prayers and material help of all the Churches and communities.
